Good with one small gripe
By Buster on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2015
First off, I've no idea why a few reviews said assembly was hard or confusing. It's literally a wheel and 2 handles. The handles of which ONLY can be installed one way on either side. It literally took me longer to open the box than assemble the thing AND do a quick workout. And all this was before I even noticed the instructions in the box.The unit is well built. The handles are actually quite comfortable, made of a hard plastic rather than cloth or rubber. So you don't have to worry about any material rubbing off after a bit of use. The spring in the return system is adequate. It's strong enough to assist with your work out, but not too strong where it's doing the work for you. I've tried various ab workout wheels. This wheel does emit some noise from the spring coiling and releasing, but it's right in line with other units I've tried. But of course, your focus is working out, not silence. Though the sound is pretty subtle.In all, very nice product. My only gripe is that I wish the wheel was more omnidirectional. The spring will ONLY work in one direction. So if you turn the wheel backwards, the spring will not allow you to use the machine, and you'll likely end up breaking the unit. There is an arrow depicting the direction of which the wheel is supposed to go. But it is a bit annoying to attempt to start working out only to discover you're turning the wheel backwards and it's not letting you move.Good unit. Will update this review as needed.

It's okay
By Chris D. on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2018
Grabbed this after looking at reviews for a little bit on many wheels. Arrived quickly and for the most part, as described. Mine didn't include the knee pad as pictured so I was a little put off by that but otherwise it was good to go. Assembled it in seconds and was off to workout. I find the wheel to be a little noisy when in use and if I shake it I can hear something small bouncing about in it, seems to work without issue though. One thing I find is I appear to run out of travel a little sooner than I should, I believe this is due to the coil on the inside. So I spend what feels like a little more time than I should trying to make adjustments to compensate. Overall not a bad purchase but not sure I'm completely satisfied with it. Looking back I think I'd have gone with the Lifeline power wheel had I seen it sooner.
